Hi all,
I can't get the mic on my Sennheiser headphones working with my front audio panel! The headphones have a 4-pole 3.5mm connector while my front audio panel has two 3.5 jacks, so I've got a 4-pole splitter that gives me a speaker and a microphone jack.
- When I plug the two splitter jacks to the front panel, I can hear just fine but the microphone doesn't record anything
- Same if I remove the splitter and plug the 4-pole headphone jack into the "headphone" jack on the front panel
- If I remove the splitter and plug the 4-pole headphone jack into the "microphone" jack on the front panel, I can record sound but can't hear anything.
And the kicker: the splitter works just fine in Windows, which I'm dual-booting to. It also works on the back audio panel (and I'd use that, but my cable is too short). Which makes me think that this is a software issue of some kind.
I've fiddled around in pavucontrol to no avail. I did discover that pressing the volume or mute buttons on the remote results in a big reading on the input. Some kind of click noise, I guess. The motherboard is a Gigabyte AORUS Z390 and the case is a Fractal Design Define C, and I'm assuming I've wired everything up correctly since it works just fine in Windows. Hope someone can help!
